Hasta La Gadget!

It’s the attention to detail that really makes this hard-drive mod great — after all, how hard is it to just slip a USB-powered 2.5” drive into, well, anything?

After slipping the drive into the casing, hacker _n3o_ (for that is his hacker name), shifted the LED up to the hole where the Gameboy’s battery light used to be. Then, he took advantage of the lack of a screen backlight and simply replaced the panel with a piece of paper sporting the logo graphic. And that’s it: a very neat’n’nerdy 80GB portable drive.

Retro-hardware fans will be pleased to know that no consoles were hurt in the course of making this mod — the Gameboy in question was already dead.
